the kind Mr.. Hoyt has ever written"

THE MINsTRELs.
Haverly's Minstrels gave performance at
City Hall last evening which was among the
best of the kind seen here for some time.
The troupe contains many of the leading
members of the profession and the pro-
gramme Is so arranged as to give each per-
former an opportunity to contribute to the
amusement of the audience without allowing
the interest to lag for moment The jokes
were new and bright and the solos in the
opening part were exceptionally well rem
dered. Messrs. Hawley, Malcolm and Cur
ran are the possessors of well trained voices,
which were displayed to advantage in the
several selections. Master Percy, the boy
are too well known to require an especial
notice. The Quaker City Quartette renewed
the success they won at former appearance
here and Mr.. Halls banjo playing was ex-
cellent The afterpiece consisting of the
original operetta entitled the "King of the
Fills" was very funny and well performed.
MAY CARNIVAL.

tainment at City Hall May Day afternoon

entitled Memories of the War" is pleasing
as well as instructive. The cast is good
one. Miss Annie e. Hyer takes the leading
part, the Goddess of Liberty, and Fred w.
Adams, the elocutionist, takes the part of

! lected. Fine tableaux will be given at the
